The team’s first HBCU Night on Saturday will coincide with the 21st Annual Destination HBCU College Fair Weekend where high school seniors and college transfer students will have the opportunity to complete the Common Black College Application, allowing them to apply to more than 50 HBCUs with just one submission. They may also receive immediate acceptance and scholarship offers. Furthermore, attendees will have the chance to interact with vendors and take part in workshops that cover a wide range of topics such as Career and College Readiness, Youth Programming, Health and Wellness and Community Service.
Saturday’s Cargill Community Corner auctions and 50/50 will benefit the Cleveland Council of Black Colleges Alumni Association which is an alliance of local alumni, alumni chapters and supporters of the public and private Historically Black Colleges and Universities. In addition to contributing to events like the Destination HBCU College Fair Weekend, the Alumni Association enhances the awareness of HBCUs, provides student recruitment and scholarship opportunities, and offers alumni development, support and fundraising.
